Random Revelations from reading the Bible

In no sort of order; just read and maybe write in your journal what you receive from the revelations below:

  • Watching any type of porn is adultery. You are looking lustfully at other men and women.
  • God offers so much more. Set God always before ourselves, because He is for us. With Him we will not be shaken. Keep your eyes on Jesus always!
  • Reject the worldly desires that try to stop you from surrendering your life fully to Go. This is something we have to actively do and constantly.
  • Fast and petition God - He will answer
  • Forgive, Forgive, and forgive again. Forgiveness comes from the power of the Holy Spirit.

  • Do your emotions get in the way of thinking straight and/or doing the right thing?

  • Praise the LORD! He is our Counselor. He instructs us when He is in our hearts.
  • At the LORD's command make moves. When we obey God's law-it makes it easier to set ourselves up for God's commands. When to stay and when to go. When you're told to stay where you are; it won't always be delightful, there will be time of barreness and waiting (which isn't easy). Regardless of our own strength, eagerness and impatience STAY until God directs you by whatever means. A long wait is a test of obedience. But then when God tells you to move- MOVE! Look out for this call usually when we're settled and comfortable. But you will see the relief in the move, especially after all of that waiting. In time... patience really is key.
  • Know God's Will (His Word), and ask. Do this, you will have whatever you ask.
  • God's Will, not your own will.

  • PEACE- do you have it? God has called us to live in peace.

  • This world is polluted by the corruption of its peoples. Their detestable acts have filled it with impurity. So look to God to give light to our eyes.
  • We are responsible to God, not man. First and main concern should be, God's affairs- "How can I serve the LORD." Keep an eternal perspective on things. Your soul is important.
  • We serve God and others in the way of the Spirit. Get to know the Holy Spirit. Let the Spirit guide you.
  • God shows us mercy and compassion. Nothing depends on our desires or efforts, it all depends on God's mercy.
Chew on that...
